When students die Story by Megan Jula | mjula@indiana.edu Photos by Glory Sheeley | gsheeley@indiana.edu
F
our students died this semester, three in a 15-day period. Somewhere between balancing private grief and public concern, the campus community is left wondering: How many students die, and what causes their deaths? IU doesn’t always have the answers. Donna MacLafferty was falling asleep when the phone rang at 11 p.m. It was her ex-husband, asking about their son. “Have you heard from Brian?” Brian was an IU senior majoring in neuroscience. It was September, only the third week of fall classes, and Donna hadn’t talked to him that day. Neither had Brian’s girlfriend, who had been frantically trying to contact him. He hadn’t returned her calls or texts. Now, as midnight approached, Brian’s girlfriend was outside his apartment, banging on the door. No answer. The windows were dark, and his car was parked nearby. Brian’s dad was calling 911. At her home outside Indianapolis, Donna tried not to think of the worst. But as the minutes ticked by, she knew something was wrong. After what felt like an eternity, the phone rang again. This time it was a police officer. “I’m sorry,” Donna recalls him telling her, “but Brian committed suicide.” Brian’s mother knelt on the floor and laid her head on her bed. She was in so much shock that she didn’t know how to feel. “It’s just this ... Oh my gosh,” she said. “Oh my gosh, he is dead. He is never coming back.” What made the loss all the more alarming in Bloomington was that Brian’s death was the third death of an IU student in just 15 days. On campus, rumors spread. Bits of official information came sporadically, if at all. The Monroe County coroner wouldn’t promptly release causes of death. IU, meanwhile, was reluctant to make all three deaths public. The University acknowledged one of the deaths, which had occurred on campus, immediately. Striving to respect the privacy of the families, IU did not confirm the other two student deaths until days afterwards, when pressed by the Indiana Daily Student. The lack of solid information raised deeper questions. How often do IU students die? How do those
numbers compare to mortality rates at other universities? When a student dies, how does the University decide what to say publicly? Does anyone track these deaths and their causes? If not, how does the University know when there is a problem? Over the past three months, the IDS has sought answers from public records and in interviews with IU officials, the Monroe County coroner and families of deceased students. After a recent unanimous ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court declared death certificates public record, the IDS also gathered those records from Monroe County and Marion County health departments. Compiling a complete inventory of student deaths is difficult because key information that would enable access to these documents are missing from IU’s records. The University has no protocol for tracking the causes of student deaths and responds on a case-by-case basis with no written procedure. In fact, IU does not know how many of its students have died. The Dean of Students Office has recorded 156 deaths of IUBloomington students since 2000. But in its efforts to put together an exhaustive list from that same time period, the IDS has discovered at least 163 student deaths. The most recent, a freshman who died in his hometown, was a week before Thanksgiving. IU’s numbers are slightly higher than known national college mortality rates. Dr. James Turner, a University of Virginia professor who headed the only study of college student deaths in the last 70 years, said that the national average for a student population the size of IU’s is 8.4 deaths a year. Based on the numbers since 2000, an average of 10.8 students die a year at IU. About 40 percent of those student deaths occurred on or near the Bloomington campus. The most common causes, based on death certificates from Monroe and Marion counties, were accidents — including car crashes, fires, unintended
overdoses and falls from balconies or buildings. The numbers are higher than many at IU would guess. For men and women at the peak of young adulthood, death seems far away. “I don’t think they are aware at all,” Turner said. “In fact, I don’t think college presidents or faculty members or the press understand the facts.” This lack of awareness, he said, is a national problem. His study found that some universities keep close track of student deaths, while others take a laissez-faire approach. The result is that too little is known about how students die. “It’s important,” Turner said, “to have accurate data about the death of college students to determine whether or not you are doing everything you can to keep them healthy and safe.” * * * The series of deaths caught Bloomington off guard. Sophomore Danielle Lynn on Aug. 26. Junior Kelly Hackendahl on Aug. 28. Senior Brian MacLafferty on Sept. 10. “What happened at the beginning of the semester, it shook everybody,” said Mark Land, associate vice president of Public Affairs and Government Relations for IU. “It shook us all. Having three students die so close together has made us think through: are we doing right by everybody? If we’re not at least examining our process and procedures when something like that happens, we’re not doing our job.” Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer ruled all three deaths as suicides. Even though the details in such cases are personal and painful for the families, knowing how people die is a matter of public interest. In the Indiana Supreme Court’s ruling on death certificates as public record, the justices weighed the privacy of individuals with the need for transparency. “Death is an intimate and perSEE STUDENT DEATH, PAGE 6
Eric and Marilyn Behrman’s daughter, Jill Behrman, died in May 2000. “Every day you put a foot in front of the other and keep going on. Things change. Life changes. There are sad times, but there are still good times. You need to concentrate on those things, keep moving forward. That’s what she would want.” Eric Behrman
“You’re certainly not prepared to be the parent of a missing child or a murdered child. That’s something you have to learn as you go.” Marilyn Behrman
Kenneth Mack’s son, Jimmy Mack, died Oct. 27, 2007. “Live life. Have fun. Don’t take everything so serious. If there’s trouble get away from it. Life’s too short-- I know that. For a fact.”
Dave Specyal’s son, Jason Specyal, died Nov. 29, 2007. “Freshmen should have a required class: dealing with depression. How to manage your life and how to look out for each other.”
Victoria Hays’ daughter, Jessica Ruiz, died July 4, 2008. “I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t get a letter or anything from the president saying ‘I’m sorry for your loss.’ It made me feel like if I hadn’t contacted them it wouldn’t have made any difference, they wouldn’t have even noticed that she was gone.”
Mary Land’s son, Michael Land, died Feb. 16, 2010. “I bet I got five or six different phone calls from the University asking if there was anything at all they could do. I was shocked by the amount of support.”
Carla Putnam’s son, Michael Leudeman, died April 21, 2011. “I aged 10 years physically. I certainly don’t have the daily joy. I have joy, but it comes harder and less frequent.”
Connie Orhn’s daughter, Renee Orhn, died Oct. 1, 2011. “I didn’t want to become a bitter, mean, rude human being. I didn’t want to go that way. I couldn’t have done that alone. I don’t believe I could have. I got help from people, but God helped me the most on that one.”
Bill MacLafferty’s son, Brian MacLafferty, died Sept. 10, 2014. “We just have to accept this reality that I’m not going to see my son again in this life, and I just pray that I see him in the next life.”

Seniors choreograph concert By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218
They all began as freshman dance majors. During their first year in the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance, they studied improvisation to step outside of their comfort zones. By sophomore year, they enrolled in composition classes. Junior year they studied choreography. Now as seniors, they will put on their own final show. The graduating seniors of the dance department will present their senior concert, “Exit Notes,” at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Whikehart Auditorium at the Ivy Tech John Waldron
Arts Center. The 18 pieces are split up into two groups, A and B. Group A will perform 3 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday. Group B will perform 7 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. “Exit Notes” is a presentation of what the seniors have learned. “We were debating on what to call the show, and we wanted it to be a representation of our four years at IU,” senior dance student Alyssa Condotti said. “These pieces are exit notes leaving college.” Each senior choreographs a piece and teaches it to the dancers they select to be in their group. In addition, they coordinate the lighting, advertising, programs and costumes. Through the program,
the seniors get to know more dancers in the department, including underclassmen, because they choose dancers for their pieces, Condotti said. Many of the younger dancers participate in not only the choreographed pieces but also help out with other parts of the show. Sophomore Madeline Logan is dancing in a piece by senior Mante Baliutaviciute called “Tessellate.” The choreography is based off the phrase, “The smaller the degree of difference, the more we notice the difference.” The movements are repeated throughout the dance and changed slightly to highlight the small differences, Logan said. The group has been re-
hearsing until 11 p.m. a few nights a week, sometimes starting at 9 a.m. the next day. Condotti said the hardest part for the dancers is trying to embody the vision the choreographer has for their piece. “As a choreographer, the biggest difficulty is to not judge yourself too harshly for what you’re putting out there,” Condotti said. “For a lot of us, it’s the first time we’ve choreographed. You just can’t be afraid to try it.” Tickets for the show are free and distributed on a first come, first serve basis. “We want people to come and see athletes moving on stage and being creative,” Condotti said. “A lot of the pieces are dance for the sake of dance.”
IU Habitat for Humanity will attempt to build Indiana’s largest gingerbread house from 4 to 8 p.m. this Saturday in Dunn Meadow. For a $4 donation, individuals will receive a bag of candy to help decorate the 12-foot tall house. All of the proceeds from the event will go toward Habitat for Humanity’s goal of raising $70,000 to build a home for a family in the Bloomington community. Additionally, participants can decorate cookies, listen to live music, tell Santa what they want for Christmas, and buy handcrafted scarves and concessions, said Director of Fundraising Christina Zerfas. Habitat for Humanity Fundraising Board member Marlo Owczarzak said the project was developed through brainstorming at the board meetings and that the original idea was to do a small gingerbread house competition, but the event continued to grow. “It was one of those 3 a.m. ideas,” sophomore law and public policy major Alyssa Julian said. “My original idea was to create the largest in the country, but we could never pull off something that size, so we decided to make the largest one in Indiana.” Sophomore Fundraising Board member Jessica Kim said that in order to raise enough money for their cause, they needed to mini-
mize costs to the extreme. She said the event could not be possible without Baked! Of Bloomington’s sponsorship. “To say that this was a perfect opportunity for us is an understatement,” said Jeremy Ness, one of the managing partners of Baked! Of Bloomington. “We immediately realized that an event like this was a great chance for us to help out the local community, spread the word about Baked! and bring the staff together for some much-needed team building.” Ness said they will be using more than 1,400 pounds of food to make all of the gingerbread. Zerfas said initially the team struggled with making the idea feasible and getting the gingerbread donated, but as soon as the advertising launched, they faced the issue of not having enough candy for the turnout. “Having such a positive response has been the best problem we could ask for,” she said. “The beautiful thing about Habitat for Humanity is that no matter how much you give, you always receive more in return.” Owczarzak said she hopes the event invites the IU student body to participate in more Habitat activities in the future. If students are interested in helping with the construction or destruction of the house, they should post on the organization’s Facebook event.

Trustees talk on IU rankings at meeting By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma
The Board of Trustees addressed the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, University rankings and personnel matters at Thursday’s meeting. The IU Board of Trustees, IU’s governing board, legal owner and final authority, met Thursday at IU-Southeast in New Albany, Ind., for the Academic Affairs and University Policies Committee meeting and University Relations Committee meeting. The board will convene again Friday for the Finance, Audit and Strategic Planning Committee meeting and Facilities and Auxiliaries Committee meeting. The board approved all personnel items, including the appointment of James Shanahan, professor and associate dean of Boston University’s College of Communication, as the founding dean of IU’s Media School. The board also approved the appointment of Sue Carter to Rudy Professor of Biology and director of the Kinsey Institute in Sex, Gender and Reproduction as well as the appointment of Hui-Chen Lu to professor and Gill Chair of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Eugene Temple, IU Foundation president emeritus, updated the board on the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The school, located at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, is the first and only school of philanthropy in the world. “(The Lilly Family School of Philanthropy) is ahead of
all metrics proposed in its original plan,” said Patrick Shoulders, chair of Academic Affairs and University Policies Committee. “Its endowment and endowed chairs are amazing for its size and it has just added four new world-class faculty.” The only concern, Shoulders said, is the number of undergraduates. The goal is to increase the number of undergraduates from 64 to 200. “Although even that number is ahead of projections,” Shoulders said. John Applegate, IU executive vice president for university academic affairs; Lauren Robel, IU executive vice president and IUBloomington provost; Jay Hess, IU School of Medicine Dean; and Nasser Paydar, IU-Purdue University Indianapolis executive vice chancellor, also updated the board on university rankings. “We seem to embrace rankings when they favor us and discount them when they don’t,” Shoulders said. “There is some concern about slippage in U.S. News rankings, but many bright spots (in other rankings) as well.” In 2014, in a United States News and World Report ranking of national universities, IU-Bloomington ranked 76th. “All deans and leaders have been challenged to review and learn any helpful takeaways from the various rankings, but we cannot let them guide strategic planning,” Shoulders said.

Founding Media School dean chosen From IDS reports
The IU Media School dean search is over. James Shanahan, an associate dean at the Boston University College of Communication, was named the Media School’s founding dean at the Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, according to an IU news release. The Trustees convened in New Albany, Ind., where Provost Lauren Robel presented a proposal recommending Shanahan for the deanship. The item did not explicitly appear on the Board of Trustees agenda. In his time at BU, Shanahan worked toward increasing diversity on campus, including drafting a new diversity statement for the university. He said he plans to bring this focus to IU, according to the University. The Board of Trustees approved the formation of the Media School in October 2013. The school combined what was formerly the School
of Journalism and the departments of telecommunications and communication and culture. The school, which was inaugurated in October, resides in the College of Arts and Sciences, IU’s largest academic body. Franklin Hall is currently undergoing renovations to house the Media School. “I’m honored to be selected as the dean of the Media School,” Shanahan said in the release. “There is no question that media of all kinds have been converging for quite some time. An integrated media curriculum makes a lot of sense and is likely to be very successful right out of the gate.” Shanahan said he thinks bringing together different types of media in one academic body will lead to an exciting new curriculum. Throughout the coming months, Shanahan will meet with faculty and other experts to finalize the school’s curriculum. He will also develop potential specialty and graduate
tracks, according to the University. Shanahan said in the release that he and his wife, Lisa, have been very pleased with the atmosphere at IU. A majority of Shanahan’s research has focused on the effects of media on the public, particularly the influence of television on people. He has also served as editor of the journal Mass Communication and Society, according to the University. “James Shanahan is a widely admired and important media scholar and an imaginative and skilled administrator,” said Larry Singell, executive dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, in the release. “He brings a tremendous portfolio of skills and experiences to the job at this pivotal moment in the life of the school, and we are delighted to have him in this role.” Singell also said in the release that he is incredibly grateful to Lesa Hatley Major, associate dean for the Media School, for taking leader-
ship in the Faculty Advisory Board and planning committees t h ro u g h o u t James the past year. B e f o r e Shanahan coming to BU, Shanahan was chair of the Department of Communication and director of graduate programs at Fairfield University. Before that, he was a professor in Cornell University’s Department of Communications for more than a decade. “The Media School was founded on the belief that the health of our democracy depends upon the free, unfettered flow of information and ideas through every available media channel,” Robel said in the release. “James Shanahan is committed to this belief and passionate about engaging students in critical explorations of the ethical uses of media.” Anna Hyzy
Grant applications for IU Women’s Philanthropy Council available until Feb. 27 From IDS reports
Students have the opportunity to receive up to $25,000 in grant money from the IU Women’s Philanthropy Council. Applications for the new grant cycle are due by 5 p.m. Feb. 27. Applicants may be students, faculty, staff or part of any other IU community on campus, according to an IU news release. The Women’s Philan-
thropy Council awards $2,500 to $25,000 grants to applicants who send in proposals for innovative social solutions. In particular, the council is looking for candidates who are interested in educational, health care and environmental solutions. However, those who have another concentration may still apply. Applications for funding in the 2015-16 academic year can be found
online through iufoundation.com. “The WPC Fund is in the early stages of creating a legacy of impact both in Indiana and around the globe,” IU Foundation President and CEO Dan Smith said in the release. “By funding critical efforts such as providing social support to first-generation students, the Women’s Philanthropy Council is not only immediately transforming lives, it is
setting the stage for individuals to succeed in the future and go on to improve the lives of countless others.” Previously funded projects include researching sexual violence and prevention, a global student-teacher service-learning project and expanding medical and dental efforts for underrepresented and diverse communities in Indianapolis. Since the Council’s founding in 2010, it
has awarded more than $330,000 to at least 30 organizations across all eight campuses, according to the release. This year the council expects to award up to $100,000 in grants. “Over the past three years, Women’s Philanthropy Council grants have funded innovative projects across the university that have had positive and sustained impact in Indiana and well beyond,” said
IU first lady Laurie Burns McRobbie, founding cochair of the Women’s Philanthropy Council, in the release. “I am excited to welcome another grant cycle so we can continue the tradition of supporting new and resilient ideas that effectively address the needs of students and the greater IU communities here and abroad.” Lindsay Moore

Pence dissolves year-old education agency From IDS reports
Gov. Mike Pence announced Thursday he will dissolve the Center for Education and Career Innovation, an agency created by Pence’s executive order in August 2013 to oversee several state education and career readiness entities. “Our commitment to aligning statewide efforts in education and workforce development will remain
undiminished,” Pence said in a release. “CECI has laid the groundwork necessary to accomplish these goals through other existing agencies and programs.” The creation of CECI in August 2013 was met by disapproval from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz, who said the agency was taking power away from the Department of Education, which she oversees.
Pence referred to this conflict in his statement by saying someone needs to take the first step to restore harmony and trust in education. “I welcome the news that the Governor will dissolve the Center for Education and Career Innovation later today,” Ritz said in a press release. “The Governor’s action is yet another sign of the great work that is happening in our schools throughout
Indiana and the Department of Education every day.” The State Board of Education, which used to be under the Department of Education, was moved to the oversight of CECI when the agency was created. This caused conflict between Ritz, who claimed board members were making decisions behind her back, and the other board members, who claimed Ritz did not make enough of
an effort to work alongside them. Possibly in a move to cut down on the in-fighting between Ritz and other board members, Pence said that going forward, he wants the board to elect its own chair. Previously, the state superintendent in office would have been named chair of the SBOE. “Most of the state boards and commissions that I appoint have an elected chair
... The State Board of Education should operate the same way,” Pence said in a release. “Whether the chair is a Democrat or Republican, or the Superintendent of Public Instruction or a high school principal, doesn’t matter. What really matters is that the chair can focus on building consensus and getting the job done on behalf of Hoosiers everywhere.” Tori Fater

Brazilian police violence parallels Ferguson Even here in Brazil, Ferguson has been making the news every day. My Brazilian friends post about it on Facebook, and it remains a topic of daily conversation. But the reality is that here, events similar to Ferguson are not only happening often, it would be strange if they didn’t happen. “Racism, rogue cops and rough justice are as familiar here as flip flops and palm trees,” writes Mac Margolis for Bloomberg. His article, titled “Brazil has ‘a Ferguson every day,’” outlines the degree of police brutality and its similarities to events in Ferguson. The police presence here in São Paulo seems to be omnipresent. Military policemen wander the streets, usually in groups of four or five. Many times they stand around together, chatting and looking bored. It’s oddly comical. Unfortunately, when it comes to Brazil’s police, that’s where the comedy stops. The Brazilian police are responsible for at least 2,000 deaths every year, according to the Economist. On one occasion, I watched out a bus window as three policemen with unnecessarily large guns rounded up homeless people and evacuated them from a small area where they sleep every day. At a soccer game, I watched from a distance as a crowd, worked up from a referee’s call, was beaten back to their seats with police clubs. According to a Time magazine report from the beginning of November, a militia supposedly linked to the military police killed 10 civilians.
MARY KATHERINE WILDEMAN is a junior in journalism and political science.
More on Ferguson, page 7 Read about Thursday’s Ferguson rally on campus. Al Jazeera reported that in the city of Goiânia, policemen are suspected to have illegally killed one in 20 of the homeless population. Police violence is clearly related to poverty and race in Brazil. Of course, inhabitants of slums, called favelas here in Brazil, are more vulnerable to this sort of police violence. And the favelas are full of people characterized by the government as brown or black. As is the case in the United States, social media has shaped the way people view these conflicts. Some extreme cases have managed to catch the attention of Brazilians on Twitter and Facebook. But unfortunately, many Brazilians are hardened to this kind of violence. It is something that is now expected. This being said, there have still been many large-scale protests against police violence. Unsurprisingly, these often ended in more violence. The difference might be that while American protests such as Ferguson are televised around the world, Brazilian protests are brushed under the rug and rarely receive much international attention. It seems regardless of whether you live in a first- or a third-world country, citizens of the U.S. and Brazil can’t yet expect a first-class police force. marwilde@indiana.edu

Holiday World’s new steel rollercoaster, Thunderbird, was completed Dec. 2. Holiday World is in Santa Claus, Ind.
Thunderbird completed in advance From IDS reports
The bright orange Thunderbird, a much-anticipated roller coaster addition to Indiana’s Holiday World theme park, was completed Dec. 2, making the installment the amusement park’s “first major steel roller coaster,” according to a Tuesday press release from Holiday World. The roller coaster in the Santa Claus, Ind., theme park was completed three weeks before expected. Thunderbird is “the nation’s first launched wing coaster,” according to the Holiday World website. It was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, a Swiss company.
Seventy-seven pieces of steel had to be put into place to complete the full circuit of the Thunderbird, according to the release. Before the 77th piece was lifted into place on the coaster, the ride’s construction team signed it to celebrate. James Olliver, Holiday World’s vice president of development and maintenance, said in the release that more than three dozen construction workers contributed to the building effort, sticking to their schedules despite difficult summer and winter conditions. Thunderbird measures more than 3,000 feet of steel, according to the release. The ride will consist
of a zero-to-60 miles per hour launch, taking three and a half seconds in total, a 14-story Immelmann loop, a zero-g roll, a barrel roll and a loop, the release reads. According to the Holiday World website, the ride lasts one minute and 18 seconds in total. It reaches 140 feet at its highest point, the Immelmann loop, and can hold up to 1,140 guests per hour. “Continuing Holiday World’s tradition of sending roller coasters through thickly wooded and hilly terrain, Thunderbird at first soars and loops high in the air and then hugs the ground, surprising riders with rapid-fire ‘near
misses’ such as keyholes, themed elements, other rides, trees and even the ground,” the press release states. Holiday World also makes it clear in the press release that there will be additional ride enhancements in the near future. While the roller coaster itself is completed, construction of its “themed support buildings” is ongoing, according to the release. According to the Holiday World website, the total investment in Thunderbird was $22 million. Holiday World opens for the 2015 season next spring, on April 25. Anicka Slachta
New support group addresses suicide From IDS reports
Youngsters and teens in the Bloomington community affected by suicide will have an outlet through a new support group coming in January 2015, according to a press release from the City of Bloomington Community and Family Resources Department. “Currently, Monroe County only has a support group of this type for adults,” the news release reads, referring to a group known as Survivors of Suicide facilitated by social worker Ron Masters. Nancy Woolery, health projects manager for the City of Bloomington, and Peter Link, licensed clinical social worker for Bloomington Meadows Hospital, saw a need for a similar support system for younger people. After attending a two-day facilitator training in Indianapolis, the duo began working to create such a program. The training they attended was designed to teach interested adults how to create and facilitate the kinds of youth support groups Woolery and Link were interested in. The point of this new youth support group, the release states, is to “provide strategies to deal with the impact of suicide, trauma and violent death on children, teens and their families and crisis response.” The release
also notes that the group will provide a safe space for teens and children to “tell their stories about the suicide death that affected them to peers who understand and can share their experiences.” This is necessary, according to the group, because people of this age generally do not know others who have experienced similar trauma. “They often do not have a place or anyone with whom to share their grief,” according to the release. The support group wants to emphasize that it is not a therapy group. It is a self-run support group that is meant to act as a new avenue for children and teens to express their grief and share their varied experiences. The support group is described in the press release as “ongoing.” Participants can attend as many or few meetings as they would like to. The adult support group, as well as the new youth support group, are both free. Link said in the release that the training he received in Indianapolis with Woolery changed the way he looked at this situation. “(It) was a very important training and enlightened both Nancy and I of the importance of suicide support for children and teens in our community,” he said.

sonal matter,” Justice Mark Massa wrote for the court. “We are also mindful of the importance of open and transparent government to the health of our body politic.” Suicides are particularly sensitive for the University. In situations that don’t affect other students’ safety, Land said he thinks about the family and friends first. “The general public can dress it up all they want as ‘We have a right to know,’ but a lot of times they are just nosy,” Land said. “They just want to know.” Students, he said, don’t need to know the details of every situation. “We spend a lot of time as administrators pushing this rock up the hill everyday,” he said. “How do we help? At some point you can only do so much. Bad things are still going to happen occasionally. But how do you minimize that, and how do you support folks when things happen and how do you send the message, ‘This is a safe place, but you still have to keep an eye out for you and your friends?’” Land is more focused on the families than the exact numbers. The data on student mortality at IU is more than names on a spreadsheet. It’s sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and classmates. * * *

“People give you this ‘He’s in a better place,’ well I always bite my tongue when I’m told that because the ‘better place’ would be right beside me.” Kenneth Mack in his garage at his home in Kokomo. Wearing his son Jimmy’s sweatshirt, he sits in front of a sign that was sitting on the sidewalk beside the restaurant where his son was killed. He took it and hung it in his garage.
It’s a Sunday, and normally Bill MacLafferty would be donning old clothes to mow the lawn one last time before winter. Then, he could relax and watch football while his twin eighth-grade daughters finished their homework. Instead, he is in Brian’s room, looking at the posters and pictures his son left behind. “We’re not really making it into a shrine,” the father said. “Because it’s going to be a guest room someday, but we have things that belong to him stored there.” Brian loved music, especially Chicago and Dave Matthews Band. Their posters hang on blue walls. Brian’s silver and gold trumpet, the one he played in high school and at IU, rests in the closet in a case lined with crushed ruby velvet. This year, he was going to play in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as an alumnus with the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps. Instead, one of the scouts carried a memorial banner at the parade bearing Brian’s name. The last time Bill saw his son, he was helping Brian move into his apartment. Classes were going to start the following Monday. A few weeks later, Bill called his son while on the way home from work, just to catch up. “We had a really nice conversation. He seemed happy and content with the semester, a lot more talkative than usual,” Bill said. He swallows as his eyes water. “I thought he was in a good place.” A day later, Brian shot himself. It was World Suicide Prevention Day. Donna, his mother, had dreaded this possibility ever since Brian was diagnosed with depression in high school. She thinks he was aware that he killed himself on a day of prevention. “He’s proving how silly it is to have a day of suicide prevention because that’s not enough,” she said. “Really the issue is mental health.” Both parents agreed that the University’s response to Brian’s death was thoughtful. IU refunded Brian’s tuition for the semester. “I honest to God didn’t think they would really care, but they really did,” Donna said, remembering the flowers sent and the professors who attended the funeral. “They have just been really nice about it. They didn’t make me feel like he was another number.” She said she doesn’t think it’s the University’s responsibility to keep careful records of how students die; after all, their primary purpose is to educate. But it could help track of problems, she said. “They should have more open lines with the students and let them know about the resources for mental health,” she said. “We’ve got to help get over the stigma of mental illness. We have to get past that.”
more college students than alcohol, according to Turner’s study. His study looked at data from 157 schools during the 2009-2010 school year. The research showed that for every 100,000 college students, at least six kill themselves each year. About five die from alcohol-related causes, including traffic injuries. “That was very surprising,” Turner said. His study also found that college students died less frequently than their peers in the general population. This indicates, Turner said, that colleges provide a protective environment. With more data, more could be done. “I would like to see some sort of national effort, perhaps by the Department of Education, to standardize the reporting process,” he said. “I don’t think you can rely on individuals to come up with their own standards.” Examples of Big Ten schools with detailed reporting procedures include Penn State University and the University of Maryland. “I’m hoping that through our research, colleges understand how important mental health issues are on campus and put them in the forefront,” Turner said. “You need to do a lot more than educate about alcohol on campus. In fact, suicide is a lot more common cause of death. We need to carefully evaluate how we intervene.”

Mark Land — opens her son’s Facebook page. She scrolls past the pictures of Mike with his high school friends the last Christmas he was alive and past the posts that read, “Mike, we miss you.” She stops at one in particular, an email she received three years after Mike’s death. It’s from a woman named Laura who worked with Mike at the Bloomington Bagel Company. A few days before his death, Mike and Laura rode bikes to Target to buy Valentine’s Day candy for Mike’s boyfriend. “When he checked out,” Laura remembered on the post, “the cashier was clearly having a terrible day, and Mike joked with her and charmed her until he had her laughing and smiling. I stood and stared. When he finished checking out, he looked at me and said ‘Why are you staring at me?’ ... I feel like it’s such a perfect example of what an incredible person Mike was.” That was typical Mike, his mother said. “He was everybody’s best friend.” Mike was 23 when he drank himself to death in February of 2010. He was battling depression and secretly turned to alcohol, Mary Land said. When his body was found, his room was covered in empty vodka bottles. “At first I couldn’t call it suicide,” Mary Land said. “But that’s what it was.” “Even if it wasn’t intentional,” said Tom Land, Mike’s father. On Mike’s death certificate, the coroner checked accident. Even now, more than four years later, his parents run into

people who don’t know what happened. “I’ll go out of my way to not have to explain if I can,” Mary said. “But usually they say ‘Well what about Mike?’” * * * When a student dies, IU might hear the news from a parent or the police. Rarely, a professor who hasn’t seen the student in class for a few days alerts them. If they haven’t spoken yet, the University calls the family to give their condolences. That job usually falls to Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith. It’s not a call he looks forward to, but he tries to do it well. He holds in his sadness until after he hangs up. Some parents are angry when he calls, Goldsmith said, or in shock. Sometimes they put a relative on the phone. “I can’t possibly put myself in their place,” he said. “I really just try to let them know how sorry we are and how we’re trying to help them in any way we can and just to answer any questions they have initially. And sometimes they are questions we can’t answer about why or what happened, and we just don’t know.” The Dean of Students Office notifies the Office of the Registrar, Residential Programs and Services, the Office of the Bursar, the Office of the Provost, the Office of the President, the dean and recorder of the school the student is enrolled in and faculty members. “It’s like a pebble going into a pond,” said Goldsmith. “It
starts very close to the individual, and it kind of spreads out from there.” A response process – who to contact, which offices to notify – has never been formally written down. “Actually, we have been talking about that,” Goldsmith said in September. “I think we will kind of move to a more structured procedure just to ensure that we don’t miss any steps.” By November, his office had drafted a procedure. “We are looking at the draft and deciding if we have everything covered.” He is aware his office hasn’t kept a complete list of students who die, he said. At least seven names were missing from the records Goldsmith’s office provided to the IDS. The name of Jill Behrman, whose 2000 murder in Bloomington was highly publicized, was missing. “Sometimes we don’t know,” Goldsmith said. “Maybe we don’t have them. Maybe it’s clerical error. I just really can’t tell you. Not intentional by any stretch.” To date, IU does not consistently record official causes of its students’ deaths. Now that death certificates are public record in Indiana, would the University consider seeking those records to track how students die? “I hadn’t thought about that,” Goldsmith said. * * * Eric Behrman used to pick up his daughter Jill from her Thursday class in Ballantine Hall so they could have
lunch together. Yogi’s Grill and Bar was one of her favorite spots. She always ordered a large chef salad with the restaurant’s signature Hendrickson’s dressing. “We’d talk about classes, what she was doing, her friends,” Eric Behrman said as he sipped Diet Coke at Yogi’s and remembered his daughter. “Being the dad, I always gave her some money. I always joked and teased her that the only time she wanted to see me was when she needed money.” Fourteen years ago, Jill went for a bike ride and never came back. In 2006, her murderer was sentenced to 65 years in prison. “For 30 months, we had no idea what happened to Jill,” Eric Behrman said. “We had no idea where she was or anything at all. In situations like this you want to stay hopeful that she’ll just walk in the back door one day, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m here.’” He stops, sips through his straw and tries not to cry. Since the awful day they learned of Jill’s murder, her parents have somehow managed to cope. They’ve organized an annual 5K in her remembrance and helped found a not-for-profit organization called Jill’s House, a place where patients undergoing medical treatment and their families can stay. “The loss of a child is like a wound that never heals,” Behrman said. “It’s always there. And you never know what is going to bring back the memories. Things come back real quick.” Marilyn Behrman, Jill’s mother, misses the little moments. An email from Jill during the day. Seeing a movie, just the two of them. Since Jill’s death, she has become especially aware when a student goes missing or loses his life. The IU community should know when a student dies, Marilyn said, but the family also needs to be respected. “There are a lot of students who feel connected by the fact that they are students,” she said. “But yet, so many students didn’t actually know that person either.” Marilyn remembers Jill’s friends saying to her, “Jill didn’t do anything that I don’t do. This could have been me. It so easily could have been me instead of her.” “The more the public and the more the student body is aware that these things do happen,” Marilyn said. “The more they understand how you respond.” * * * One week before Thanksgiving, freshman Anthony Wilkerson died in Indianapolis, his hometown. The University did not notify the public. One reason is because it happened off campus, said Goldsmith. “Part of it is a privacy issue for the family.” But when Kelly Hackendahl died in August, in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house, the University worked quickly to dispel rumors. Students saw police cruisers racing through campus and drew their own conclusions as their Twitter feeds flooded with speculation. “We felt we had an obligation that the public knows the facts,” said Mark Land, the University spokesperson. “We can help shut down speculation.” After confirming Kelly’s death and her family was notified, Land released basic information to the media. It was minutes too soon, he said. At the same moment, Goldsmith was driving to the sorority house where Kelly had died to speak with her sorority sisters. Before he pulled up, some of the girls had already seen news of Kelly’s death on Twitter. “The flow of information is so instantaneous now,” Land said. “Everybody is going to know in minutes.” The University never tries to conceal a death because it would reflect poorly on IU, he said. Sometimes, IU officials don’t know themselves or don’t have enough answers. If a death occurs during the summer, a family might not notify the University for months. Sometimes, the family is prompted to contact IU when they receive a bill. “Some parents say ‘I want to know every time there is a student death,’” Land said. “If my daughter died, I wouldn’t think it was the right of everyone in the community to know.”

IU joins national movement Students, Bloomington residents rally in response to police controversies By Alyson Malinger @aly_mali | afmaling@indiana.edu
The whole country waited on Nov. 24 to hear the grand jury’s decision in the case involving Darren Wilson, a St. Louis police officer, who shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown six times. Wilson was not indicted by the grand jury and so faced no criminal charges. Since this verdict, there have been demonstrations and rallies, both forceful and nonviolent, in response to the verdict. On Thursday night, the cause came to Bloomington. Hundreds of community members gathered in front of Showalter Fountain to rally. “How can we live and breathe in a world that allows murderers and killers to roam free?” said Robert Sherrell, member of the Black Student Union at IU. The Black Student Union at IU organized the rally Thursday to voice its opinions and concerns about the verdict. As a union, members said they believe the case showed no one is truly color blind in this country, even 50 years past the civil rights movement. Though the union was only expecting up to 50 participants at the rally, Black Student Union representatives reported more than 600 people attended ready to voice their opinions in the peaceful protest. Following the rally, the union led a march to the Indiana Memorial Union and had a four-minute “die-in” where participants laid down on the floor as if they were dead. The four minutes of silence represented the four hours Michael Brown was left lying dead in the street. Union Board, the student governing body of the Indiana Memorial Union, was having its regular meeting during this demonstration and ended early to join in the gathering. “It’s peaceful,” said Cathy Deal, former national president of college Union Boards. “It’s meaningful. And it’s what we need. It’s an opportunity to come and express our needed opinions.” Prior to the die-in, Black Student Union President Autumn Gonzalez spoke to the group and stressed the union is a nonviolent organization and would always comply with all laws and police force. Following this, cheers of “no justice, no peace, no racist police,” filled the streets within the gates of campus. The night ended at Morrison Hall for an open forum that allowed people to voice their opinions on racism and inequality that they find prevalent today. The lecture hall was filled over capacity and was only open to IU students and faculty to accommodate as many people as possible. “This is not an IU problem. This is not an Indiana problem. This is not a nationwide problem. This is a world problem,” Sherrell said at the rally. “This movement is bigger than you and I.”

New York protesters make a statement Protests of the death of Eric Garner effectively shut down New York City during its tree lighting ceremony Wednesday. As many listened to Mariah Carey try to sing, Grand Central Station and other New York landmarks
were filled with people shouting, “I can’t breathe,” Eric Garner’s last words. Garner joins Michael Brown on the long list of men and women whose deaths were unjust and whose killers were not punished.

The Sony scare
Pretty punny
STEPHEN KROLL is a senior in journalism.
JOSHUA ALLEN is a sophomore in creative writing.
Last week, the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, which is in charge of regulating media in China, issued an order banning puns that said “puns could mislead young readers and make it more difficult to promote traditional Chinese culture.” The order said that, much like every form of media and any mildly Western idea, it corrupts the traditionalism China is trying to maintain. That said, let’s just take a minute to appreciate the sheer hilarity that happens when some governments, in an effort to limit personal freedoms, become unintentional comedians. This could be an article straight from the Onion. One has to wonder what exactly the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television plans to achieve by this because we have to assume the order was issued in complete seriousness. Perhaps I could understand banning comedy because, let’s face it, Communist leaders don’t have the best senses of humor, but I want to know how puns are particularly subversive. They should have considered how a-Mao-sing puns can be. I’ll stop. But if China were a person, it would be the most insecure and paranoid person I would ever come across. An order such as this is like something straight out of George Orwell’s “1984.” While in the United States one of the most contentious topics is gun control, in China it seems they are more concerned with pun control. Of course, the primary culprit the organization targeted was the Internet, where forums have empowered the most unlikely people, which are apparently “migrant worker(s), or even a(n) elementary student who knows how to use a computer,” to formulate their own puns and join the wordplay movement. If you are satisfied with nothing else about the United States, then at least be happy you still have the freedom to make terrible puns that ultimately alienate you from all your more sophisticated friends. Because we all need a little laugh with finals week coming up, let’s consider some other instances of despots acting in thoroughly irrational ways. Earlier this week, North Korea outlawed the name “Kim Jong-Un” for everyone but the dictator himself, which meant anybody who formerly had the name (which, apparently, is a common name in both Koreas) had to change it. And in September, Vladimir Putin took a break from stirring up world powers to make a “suggestion” for a cartoon character on a popular Russian puppet show. So remember, friends. Just because you want to become a dictator who acts completely without regard to human dignity doesn’t mean you can’t take the time to have fun once in a while. Find a hobby. Take a walk. Invade a country. It’s all in a good day’s work. allenjo@indiana.edu
ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS
Protecting our own WE SAY: In wake of deaths, IU needs to be transparent Here at IU, we must value the life of every single Hoosier. And to do so means we must recognize those who are taken from us all too soon. The Indiana Daily Student is a forum for student and community voices to be shared among students, staff and faculty across the campus. This publication works to keep the public updated about campus events and attempts to convey to its readers what is going on around them and why it matters. This responsibility involves covering the news even in the worst of circumstances: when a student dies. Student deaths are traumatic experiences. When this happens, it is not only devastating to respective friends and family, but to the entire IU community. When students die, their deaths have a rippling effect throughout our University, and it can deeply affect students and staff alike. So far this semester, IU has experienced four student deaths, three of which occurred in a 15-day period. When students die, IU administration has an obligation to the campus community to make available the necessary resources to those who might be in need of them. These services fall completely under the radar when the institution can’t even do so much as to acknowledge the circumstances. IU-Bloomington must strive to uphold the ideals of compassion and transparency. Without a dialogue, the University cannot offer adequate services or aid to help students and staff members cope with whatever they might be facing. These traumas can stir anxiety,
depression and discomfort. Emotional consequences such as these are serious and require the full attention and devotion of IU staff and administrators. The IDS is a student publication. With every decision made in this newsroom, our journalists carefully weigh what is in the best interest of our readers across the campus community. And when a student is taken from this community, the IDS will take swift action to inform its readership in a respectful and thoughtful manner. In most cases this semester involving student suicide, the University administration stalled in providing confirmation and addressing inquiries from IDS reporters and editors, and it is not acceptable. IU is an institution that prides itself on a sense of community. It is imperative, in the spirit of community and transparency, for the University administration and appropriate local elected officials, such as Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer, to cooperate with news sources who are only trying to keep the flow of information open and readily available to the public. This isn’t to say IU has not been at all cooperative. Officials have provided the IDS with information when pressed, just not necessarily in a timely manner. As for the University, as of now, written protocol as to how to address a student death does not exist. Without this written protocol, it is near impossible for students, media and the community alike to hold officials accountable. It is also necessary to note that, in most cases, the IDS will not disclose the manner of death if it is ruled a suicide,
unless it has occurred in a public space. However, at least three of the four students who died during the fall semester took their own lives, according to public records. A cause of death in the case of the fourth student has yet to be determined. These are circumstances that are not inconsequential, and they deserve to be acknowledged so proper steps can be taken to make resources available. In 2011, a study by James Turner looked at data from 157 schools. According to that research, for every 100,000 college students, at least six kill themselves each year, and about five die from alcohol-related causes, including traffic injuries. One-hundred sixty-three students have died since the year 2000. IU doesn’t know how each of these students died. A database that is maintained by the Dean of Students Office exists, but only 156 names are included within this database, along with an unofficial cause and manner of death listed for some (but not all) of the students. If such information is not being collected and regularly updated, then the University is incapable of identifying possible trends or problems that might need to be addressed on a larger level. We care about IU. We care about all students. We care about this administration. We care about you. IU students are guaranteed two free counseling sessions per semester with Counseling and Psychological Services. For questions or to make an appointment, call 812-855-5711.
KARL’S KORNER
IU mental health resources need support There are 46,416 students attending IU. More than 25 percent of college students have been diagnosed or treated by a professional for a mental health condition within the past year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. At IU, there are a total of 21 professionals working for Counseling and Psychological Services. Out of those 21 individuals, there are 17 therapists, two psychiatrists and two sexual assault counselors. If the CAPS’ professional faculty equally treated 25 percent of IU’s student population, each professional would be responsible for helping 552 students whose mental health may be affected. And as the two sexual assault counselors likely only work with cases involving sexual assault, that would put more students off on the remaining 19 officials. The
apparent lack of funding and help for individuals potentially in need of a mental health program at IU isn’t something that’s well known or even talked about on campus. I’ve slowly realized these services are necessary and should be more attainable on campus. One example: A colleague of mine attempted to reach out to CAPS this semester and was informed he couldn’t get an appointment for at least two to three weeks. College is a pivotal time in our lives. We arrive as naive freshmen who are nervous yet excited about this new chapter. There’s no longer a curfew, and your mom isn’t yelling at you to clean your room. You are finally free. But at the same time, you are newly alone. According to NAMI, “one in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have a diagnosable mental
illness.” This startling fact is widely unknown at IU, and I think it’s time we realize this is an issue. The first step in this process is IU’s administration recognizing the serious lack of staff and funding in our mental health program. The second step would be to reach out to donors and alumni and ask them to donate. Unlike re-doing the perfectly fine arboretum, updating and expanding our mental health programs will better the lives of the students in need of these services. Not only will it directly influence those who may suffer from a mental illness, it will affect those who surround themselves with these individuals. Sometimes it’s hard to seek out help and confide in a friend you’ve only known for a short period of time at

college. By having these programs in place, and multiple alleys to go down for help, people who find themselves in need of psychological support can quickly and easily get assistance. In IU-Bloomington’s mission statement, it says our campus has a commitment to ensure “meaningful experiences outside the classroom.” In order to guarantee these meaningful experiences, our administration needs to create a better way for students with a mental health concern to easily access IU’s mental health resources in a timely and costeffective manner. jlkarl@indiana.edu

Sometimes the biggest fall the hardest, and corporations are no exception. Last week, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. was hacked, and its servers crashed. Their computers rendered useless, employees had to work using paper and pens. In such a large company, that’s a problem. The hackers, reportedly called Guardians of Peace, posted messages on company computers saying, “We’ve already warned you, and this is just the beginning,” and, “We continue till our request be met.” Rolling Stone magazine reported the hackers later released four Sony films on Bit Torrent before their scheduled theatrical release. It is still unclear why the hackers targeted Sony. Maybe they were angry at the company’s practices. Maybe they were just tech-savvy rebels having fun. But no matter the motive, it does show the perceptions we have about large corporations and the tension they can cause. Large corporations aren’t a new trend. Andrew Carnegie and John Rockefeller created business empires more than a century ago, and businesses haven’t stopped growing since. They’ve helped our economy grow, helped build jobs and innovate and make America strong. Wal-Mart had net sales of $279.4 billion this year and employs 1.4 million people in the United States. No one can deny the economic might of these companies. But they also create disparity. They widen the gap between the rich and poor. They exist to profit, which isn’t inherently bad. But they have tremendous economic and political clout and, if left unchecked, can undermine others for their own gain. These corporations are also easy targets. They collect massive amounts of personal data, which is a large prize for some thieves. The credit card hack of Target last year shows some people will exploit the size of these companies for profit, even illegally. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, among other court cases, has solidified the legal standing of corporations as entities with some of the rights of individuals. However, corporations are not people. They do not function like people. They have far greater reach and resources. I suspect these hackers targeted Sony partially because they believed they were doing good by knocking them down a peg. It feels good to take on the big opponent, no matter what they’ve done to deserve it. And as long as corporations continue to spend money to get what they want, these clashes with hackers and the public in general will continue. As long as David has a way to take on a perceived Goliath, the stones will keep being thrown. sckroll@indiana.edu

The Narrator of the play "She Kills Monsters", played by Kelsey Carlisle, tells the story of a teenager who seeks refuge from the loss of her family in her sister's beloved role-playing world at the Bloomington Playwrights Project on Wednesday. The show will be at the Bloomington Playwrights Project on Dec. 5-6, 11-13, and 1820 at 7:30 p.m.
‘She Kills Monsters’ debuts this weekend By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
The Bloomington Playwrights Project will stage a “Dungeons & Dragons”based production titled “She Kills Monsters” at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The story, written by Qui Nguyen, follows the life of Agnes, played by first-year graduate student Heather Lawler. “It’s a really great show about this fantasy world and this really touching story of sisters that really got to know each other,” Lawler said. “It’s about how family comes together and letting the weird things about your siblings in and accepting them for who they are.” Agnes, bored with her normal life, experiences an unfortunate twist of fate when her parents and younger sister Tilly die in a car accident. This event begins Agnes’ adventure into her sister’s life as she tries to piece together the identity of the best friend she never had the chance to know. “While she’s cleaning out her sister’s room, she finds this notebook so she takes it to this comic store and it’s a module to play this Dungeons & Dragons game her sister made,” Lawler said. “It turns out her sister is in the game. Throughout the show they get to know each other and bond and get to know these secrets.” Junior Emily Kelly plays Tilly in the show and said she could identify with the character because of some very strong similarities. “I could really relate to it because I have a younger sister and I was a total dork in high school,” Kelly said. “And I thought learning to sword fight would be awesome.” Kelly added that her character has a pretty prestigious link to the game, so she immersed herself in the lifestyle to prepare for her role. “Because she’s the best Dungeons & Dragons player
in the city, I’ve been trying to learn everything I can about the game, and it’s really complicated,” Kelly said. “There’s so much information that goes into it and details you have to know. But it’s super cool, so it’s been fun to learn about it. Our cast even played a game all together and we had a blast.” Lawler said she found out about the show because she has auditioned for BPP before and was recommended to see the director for this role in particular. Lawler previously starred as Helga in “M. Butterfly,” put on by IU Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance, an experience she said really widened her scope as an actress. “This is my first BPP show,” Lawler said. “Working with Murray (McGibbon) was great, we had such an amazing cast and it’s such an amazing show. I got to incorporate everything I’m learning in classes right now and I got to work very closely with my voice and speech teacher.” Kelly said the process of preparing for this show was different than previous productions she has worked on because she really had to mold herself into Tilly. “Our director gave me a project to write Tilly’s notebook,” Kelly said. “We agreed that the game module she wrote is also a sort of diary for her. It’s very private and a lot of people from her real life transfer over into the Dungeons & Dragons world she has created, either as her friends or as monsters.” Lawler said this show offered its own learning experiences and she enjoyed the opportunity to take part in intense stage combat for the first time. “Thirty minutes of the 90 minutes is stage combat,” Lawler said. “I have a fight with one of the bosses, punches and kicking, it’s really fun. Matt, our fight choreographer, is really great.” Kelly said her dance
SHE KILLS MONSTERS 7:30 p.m. Friday 107 W. 9th Street
Eleven men moved energetically from their cars into the house of IU junior Lars Feste. Inside, they slid a kitchen table out of their way and filled the small space with talk and laughter. Then, they snapped to focus. They began to sing and became a unified group, a brotherhood. Another Round, an IU all-male a capella group, will perform its 19th annual holiday concert 8 p.m. Saturday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Tickets are $12 for IU students and $15 for nonstudents. This year, Another Round will be singing songs such as “White Christmas,” “Prayer of the Children,” “Lean on Me” and new to the group’s repertoire, “You’ll be in my Heart,” senior Jonny Trubshaw said. Sophomore Jake Forrestal said the holiday concert is special to him because the men get to perform the Christmas songs they grew up singing. Forrestal said the Christmas spirit at the holiday concert is almost palpable. “It’s a really good mix of students, family and real people (other patrons),” Trubshaw said. Bloomington shows tend to have a solid mix of family, friends and a lot of women in sororities, he said, smiling. “This is the show we get to have the most fun at,” he said. Forrestal said the audience is generally older, but when Another Round performs at the Buskirk-Chumley, most of the audience consists of college students.
Trubshaw said the group thinks about this show all semester long because IU is its home. The holiday concert is different because Another Round gets to self-promote the show across campus, instead of having a venue do promotions for it, he said. Feste said seeing Another Round on the marquee of the Buskisk-Chumley last year was amazing for him. The group spends all semester preparing for this concert. They look at old songs and prepare new songs, Trubshaw said. Before the show, Another Round sits in the same dressing room it uses every year, and each member takes a turn talking about what the group has done for them, he said. Feste said seniors can really take this kind of opportunity to reflect on their performances and pass information on to younger members. Trubshaw said each member of the group comes in with a varying level of experience. Most members of the group sang in their high
ANOTHER ROUND 8 p.m. Saturday Buskirk-Chumley Theater school choirs, but some have been singing for several years more than that. Forrestal said it can be difficult to be close-knit and still focus on getting work done. “Every year is special because every person matters so much,” he said. Conducting business and still balancing the rest of their lives is hard at times, he said. Despite this, Trubshaw said the group still has plenty of fun, laughing and joking with each other and not taking themselves too seriously. “We’re all just best friends,” he said. The interactions people see onstage are about the same as what happens behind the scenes, he said. “It is truly a brotherhood,” Trubshaw said. Forrestal said the time the group spends together helps them to put on a better show. “You’re not going to find something more entertaining,” he said.

background really helped her with the complex fight choreography. “I have done a lot of musicals, but this is the first straight play I’ve ever done so it’s a very new experience to me,” Kelly said. “I come from a lot of dance training which I think really helps me in this show specifically because almost half the show is battle sequences.” Lawler said the struggle was finding the line between humor and heart, as the production offers fun Dungeons & Dragons references and deeper sibling bond moments. “There’s these scenes we were rehearsing and breaking down and crying,” Lawler said. “Anyone who has a sibling will understand.” The core message of the show, according to Lawler, is that moving on is a natural, albeit difficult, part of life. After her sister and parents die, Agnes has to move on from the tragedy and continue to live her life. “I want (the audience) to learn to kill their own monsters in their life and follow their dreams,” Lawler said. “It’s an analogy. Agnes is having to battle all these regrets she has in her past. In the show she’s literally killing monsters, but it’s an analogy for letting go of the past and moving on with your life.” Tickets are $20 for general audiences and $17 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the Buskirk-Chumley box office or at the door prior to the show. Tickets can also be purchased online at newplays.org. If seats are still available five minutes before the show, students may purchase tickets for only $5. The show will be staged at BPP located at 107 W. 9th St.

The Fuller Projects will host its last exhibit of the semester Friday night featuring sculpture students in the School of Fine Arts. The event will be a blind sculpting experience, titled “Double Blind,” and will take place from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the McCalla School. The show is open to the public, and attendees will have the opportunity to have their busts sculpted. Nelson Kaufman, one of the student artists to participate in the exhibit, said it will be similar to a psychological test. No one will know who is sculpting who, he said. This is how the event will work: the room will be divided by a false wall. The wall will have holes cut into it so the sculptors can put their hand through it and feel participants’ faces. They will have five minutes to feel their way through the lines and curves of the face and head so they can have an idea of what they want to create,
Kaufman said. The artists’ hands will be sterilized after each bust creation. From there, the sculptor will create a bust out of polymer clay based on what they have touched. Both the artist and attendee will be unable to see each other. When the bust is complete, it will be roughly the size of two fists put together, and then the artist will put the sculpture on a conveyor belt to be fed into the gallery. Linda Lien, a coordinator for the Fuller Projects, said the exhibit will revolve around the experience. “We are an experimental gallery,” she said. Friday’s exhibit will allow the audience to “experience art in a different way.” This exhibit will be highly performance-based. The artists will be creating work on the spot during the event. People will have to be open-minded, Kaufman said. However, he said those who tend to go to these types of events are generally more open to these situations. “We’re banking on that,”
DOUBLE BLIND 7:30-9:30 p.m. Friday McCalla School he said. “It’s part of the experience.” The idea of the event is to play with how artists receive and comprehend information without being able to depend on sight to compare what their creation and model look like, Tien said. By allowing a stranger to touch their face, it is also about attendees of the event breaking the psychological bubble that is their notion of personal space. The event will be relatively silent. Kaufman said the artists will not be talking to their models so there is no other way to gain a perception about who they are sculpting besides through touch. For those who are timid of the idea of having someone touch their face, he said people should not be wary. “They should be open to a participatory experience,” he said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
IU looks to ‘keep intensity up’ By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
Savannah State drew national attention late last month for its play against Louisville, and that wasn’t a good thing for the Tigers. Louisville held Savannah State scoreless for the opening 16 minutes of what became an 87-26 blowout Nov. 24. The Tigers missed their first 21 field goal attempts and were blocked five times during the scoreless drought. Savannah State’s two field goals was nearly the worst performance in NCAA history had it not been for an earlier Savannah State team managing just one made field goal in a previous game. That very same Savannah State team, currently ranked No. 256 in the RPI, will be at Assembly Hall on Saturday night for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff against IU (6-1). And although the Tigers (3-5) have had their struggles, IU Coach Tom Crean said he wants to carry to momentum of the intensity his team has been playing with. “The bottom line, like I said to them, we have to come out as prepared for Savannah State as we were for Pittsburgh,” Crean said. “Same thing when we go into New York (to play Louisville) next week. These are going to be great teams and we have a long way to go before we’re one of those teams.” Part of what may be holding IU back from being the top-level team Crean wants IU to be is a recent inability to put opponents away in the second half.
IU (6-1) vs. Savannah State (3-5) 7:30 p.m. Saturday Assembly Hall Big Ten Network In IU’s most recent wins against Pittsburgh and UNCG, the Hoosiers nearly let their opponents back into the game late in the second half. IU’s 23-point lead against Pittsburgh dwindled to as little as 10 before IU was able to close it out. Against UNCG, IU saw a 22-point lead evaporate to single digits in the closing minutes. Sophomore guard Rob Johnson said IU is working on not allowing its foot to be lifted off the gas late in games. When the Hoosiers build a lead, Johnson said the team needs to be pushing to increase it even further and bury opponents, not allowing for them to climb back into contention. “It’s easy to get relaxed, take your foot off the gas,” Johnson said. “I think that’s the most important thing — keep the intensity up, or turn it up a notch so you don’t have that falloff. You can continue to expand the lead.” Savannah State is only averaging 55.7 points per game and allowing opponents to score 73.1 points per game. For reference, Indiana is averaging 87.4 points per game and allowing just 72.1. The Tigers are led in scoring by senior guard Terel Hall, who is averaging 10 points per game while also forcing a team-high 15 steals on the season. They’ve also been getting a spark from sophomore guard Alante

Sophomore forward Troy Williams goes in for a layup against Pitt on Tuesday night at Assembly Hall. IU plays Savannah State on Saturday.
Fenner who is second in the team in scoring with nine points per game. The Savannah State matchup could understandably be overlooked between games against Pittsburgh and Louisville, but Crean said IU can’t afford to overlook the Tigers. The matchup is yet another opportunity for IU to work on building consistent play, regardless of
the opponent. “What they’ve got to learn now is that there’s SMU, there’s Pittsburgh, then there’s some other teams that maybe aren’t household names to them,” Crean said after IU’s win against Pittsburgh. “There’s some other teams on the horizon that are household names. You’ve got to come that way every game.”
At its core, basketball is a simple game. Behind the schemes and statistics, the objective is easy: hit your shots and score points. Score more points than the other team, and you win. Guaranteed. Every time. IU’s ridden that simple mindset to a 6-1 start this season. The Hoosiers are scoring 87.4 points per game, good for No. 7 in the country and best in the Big Ten. They’re shooting almost 52 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range, pouring in more than nine 3-pointers a game. The Hoosiers know how to score. They have to — IU ranks last in the Big Ten in scoring defense, No. 7 in rebounding margin and No. 13 in average height. Offensive production is the only facet of the game at which IU is above average this season. It may be overly simplistic to boil success on the court down to scoring, but IU’s success in recent seasons has been directly linked to offensive production. In 2011-12, the first of IU’s back-to-back Sweet 16 runs, the Hoosiers ranked No. 18 nationally in scoring. In 2012-13, IU was No. 3 nationally. It won 56 games in those two seasons. Scoring plummeted in IU’s 2013-14 campaign, with the Hoosiers ranked No. 132 nationally. IU finished 17-15 and missed postseason play. This season, IU has scored almost at will. In
interviews, Crean has spoken infrequently of his team’s offensive performance. “Offensively we can get shots,” Crean said. “Our ball is moving.” A roster full of natural scorers has the offense taken care of. It’s the other phases that have given IU fits. “I hate the term ‘work in progress,’ but I really don’t have a better one for where we’re at,” Crean said. The defense shouldn’t be tested against Savannah State, which ranks as the seventh worst offensive team in the country, according to kenpom.com. The Tigers are just three games removed from an 87-26 loss to Louisville on Nov. 24. IU’s biggest defensive deficiency, other than a pure lack of size, comes from long range. The Hoosiers have allowed opponents to connect on 34.3 percent of their 3-point attempts this season. It’s a stark departure from IU’s stingy 3-point defense last season, when opponents converted just 29.9 percent. Crean said the defensive struggles come down to coaching communication. “I’ve got to take full responsibility,” he said. “It’s not on the assistants, on nobody else but me to get our communication right. And whatever that’s going to take, we’re going to have to get that right because all it is is calling out who you have and calling out when you switch and calling out when we switch a defense. “We have to get it fixed quickly.”
